The Computer History Museum (CHM) announced today that it has, with the collaboration of the Digibarn Computer Museum and with permission from Apple Inc., posted the historic original 1978 source code for the Apple II DOS "Disk Operating System."

Would downvoter care to elaborate what was wrong with my post? Which point do you have a problem with?

1. It's very unlikely there's anything relevant to modern patents (any patents that were relevant to appleII would probably have expired by now).

2. This technology is so old that there is likely to already be lots of other prior art against modern patents that would be just as effective in overturning them (on the assumption they are relevant to begin with).

3. Prior art can invalidate patents even if the prior art is the same company holding the patent. I even linked an incident where it already happened to apple themselves.
